60-250mm lens

[Steve Desjardins]

"Planning" is you wife's name?  <g>

My longer lenses are also non-A's.  I do have the FA 135 2.8 which is
very nice on the K10D, but I really need something in the 200-300 range.
 Given my usage, however, I think I would be better off dropping the
$800-900  on some version of a 16-50 zoom and get the cheaper DA 50-250.
 I did notice, however, that the DA*50-135 is remarkably light and would
be just perfect for some situations.  Sigh.

me the
